The foolish covet the reputation of worldly customs and do not preserve the truth of the Way; fleeting fame brings the calamity of endangering oneself, and its regret comes afterward." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.25) - [Next: 1.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.27) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784~en-mt.1.26) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [註四十二章經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1.189) — Classical Chinese - [འཕགས་པ་དུམ་བུ་ཞེ་གཉིས་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.359a.1) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.26) · Pramāṇa
